First I guess an overview is in order. I currently own an '06 Suzuki DL1000 V-Strom. This is in my humble opinion one of the best all around bikes being produced today. On this page I intend to offer a variety of information regarding the V-Strom. Some will be my own personal observations, other information will be from Suzuki and the V-Strom community at large.

As time moves forward I will be adding information that seems valuable, and some not so valuable, to these pages. So if it seems that I have not covered a topic of interest, just hang on and it may someday be here.

I am sure that somewhere along the way I may unintentionally provide incorrect information. For this I apologize in advance. If information listed here just really gets under your skin... well too f@#*ing bad.

If you have any information that you would like to submit for addition please email me at (vstrom@mightyshep.com)
